The Student Response System (SRS) utilizes clickers, a hand-held technology tool used in large college-level health courses. The development of SRS visual presentations, best-practices pedagogy for in-class clicker use, and evidence-based learning outcomes will be reviewed. Experiential learning activities include hands-on use of clickers that emphasize the assessment of positive fitness, nutrition, and stress management behavioral changes. Related web-based resources and published research will be available to all participants.
